I need to know the REAL minium requirements for generals. I have:
Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU
1300MHz
1.29 GHz, 320 MB of RAM

Generals ourta work on that

as for Zero Hour....

If your graphics card isn't up to scratch it will be a right lil' bitch

There ment to have the exact same requirments. Generals will run on my Graphics card but ZH wont.... go figure....

SP2
Hp
Genuine Intel(R) CPU
T2250 @ 1.73 GHz
1.73GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
Physical Adress Extension
NVIDIA geForce Go 7600

and i dont know how to find the internet speed so ya cant help till ya tell me how to find that =)

If i was you check ur firewall.... might be a prob.... also check the cables one might be damaged.

(Google 'internet speed test' and you should get one)

Hi
I know my pc is fine but i cannot log on to gen online - is the server down?

[MadBadger]

Nope... Prob a problem with your intternet or Installation. Wait a day, start the PC wait an hour (with it connected to the internet) and try again... should heat up the computer (yes cold computers fck up...) and I know cleaning it out is a better idea (i'm lazy...) but heck.. it works.

If it's still screwey look on here for the info about deleating the Options.INI file and if that don't work return!

hi i think i my p.c i need a new graphics card cos i can play general by the ground in gameplay is all black and very slow

Hi all, hope you can help me with my problem!

now i have done a fresh install of CnC generals on my fathers computer (no internet connection), loaded the game up and it all worked fine, i then decided to alter the graphic settings to 1600x1200 resolution.

The computer cut back to desktop then back into game, only problem is now, is that the screen is black and i get an 'out of range' note on my monitor...

I have tried uninstalling and re installing, but everytime i start the game i get the same thing now, pure black screen with monitor saying out of range?

All i can think is that there is an option file somewhere with the graphics set at 1600x1200, that doesnt erase wen i uninstall, hence wen i reinstall it still loads at 1600x1200.

Anyways you might know different..

Comp specs..

7600gt GFX card
K8N4-E motherboard
1GB ram
3000xp proccessor

Now the game has just been installed, no patches added so its at basic version, also i have got the latest GFX drivers installed.

Thanks for the incoming help.

Well the out of range message shows that you set the resolution higher than the monitor can handle. It's stored in My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data\Options.ini

There's nothing we can do about the serial number error, I recommend contacting EA Customer Support: http://support.ea.com
